1993 Tajik upper house elections

The 1993 Tajik upper house elections were held in the People's Republic of Tajikistan on 31 December 1992-1 January 1993. The elections were the first held since the January 1992 Tajik presidential plebiscite, and Varshasb Royanov's ruling People's Democratic Party of Tajikistan had absolute control over the country. The conservative Agrarian Party of Tajikistan and the big tent opposition, who had gained strength in parliament after the passage of a public health care law, lost their minorities in the government. In addition, the majority Communist Party of Tajikistan lost all of its seats, and the PDPT became the ruling party of the single-party state.
